Procurement sometimes asks XRZ for “also an end mill” the way they would shop a hardware catalog—while the scrap that actually hurts is still the bore.
On XRZ’s English site, milling is a supporting process around precision holemaking. This page states that boundary: when face/seal milling rides with a drill/ream package, what not to expect, and how distributors should scope one RFQ—without ranking for “best end mill” head terms.
Holemaking first: reamers and drills own the buy intent
Custom PCD reamers and solid carbide drills carry the transactional and commercial-investigation weight on xrzpcd.com. Milling content exists to explain related features on the same precision part—not to open a third catalog war.
Umbrella positioning: PCD Tooling · Custom Cutting Tools.
When milling belongs in the same RFQ
Include milling in the engineering RFQ when the drawing shows a related face, seal land, light pocket, or profile that must stay referenced to the bore datums—and the plant wants one supplier concept for that feature stack.
Keep the bore job explicit: create vs finish vs combine. Do not bury a PCD reamer RFQ under a generic “milling project” label.
What this page is not
- Not wood, DIY, or retail router bits
- Not a “best end mill 2026” roundup
- Not a promise of world-class standalone milling dominance
- Not a place to dump the full milling SKU list
If the only need is a commodity end mill with no bore relationship, this is the wrong page.
How distributors should scope mill vs bore
- Mark which features are critical bores vs supporting faces.
- State material and whether PCD finishing is in play on the bore.
- Attach one drawing packet; avoid separate vague “mill quote” emails.
- Keep Cost per Good Part tied to accepted parts when face scrap and bore scrap interact.
Cost per Good Part on a combined face+bore part
When a seal face scrap and a bore scrap happen on the same part, counting only reamer price hides the real loss. Use one accepted-part denominator for the feature stack. Supporting milling then shows up as either reducing face rework—or as noise if the bore was never stable.
Soft path to custom tooling → RFQ
For combined concepts, start with PCD Tooling / Custom Cutting Tools, then bore products Custom PCD Reamer · Solid Carbide Drill, and submit Custom Cutting Tool RFQ.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell milling cutters?
Supporting PCD milling exists around holemaking packages—see tooling hub; bore RFQs stay primary.
Can we RFQ only an end mill?
Prefer drawing-based custom scope; this Knowledge page does not replace commodity catalogs.
Will milling content target “best end mill”?
No—by design.
How should Cost per Good Part be counted on face+bore parts?
Use one accepted-part denominator when seal-face scrap and bore scrap interact on the same component.
